So a great gentleman I'd been dating until recently passed away last Sunday of unknown causes--he'd turned 34 the May 2nd.
Right now I'm not entirely sure how to handle this. I vacillate between being completely numb and a complete mess. There's been a great deal of crying, I've met with friends and family, and I've gone to one memorial service and am planning on attending another on the East Coast.
My Question is how do you deal with this? To have someone with so much potential be taken so inexplicably? I've never been great with dealing with the death of loved ones (grandparents and uncles and aunts), so this is all the more difficult that it's someone I'd been intimate with and shared a great deal in such a short time.
Thoughts?
